I am starting a new service which will offer domain registration and web hosting. It is not a web hosting company, but instead a service where domain reg. and hosting will be an option. I am not interested in investing a lot for this hosting reseller or partnership, as it is simply an option for my service. So I am wondering if there is a reseller service available where I can brand the service completely and integrate the hosting and domain registration into my signup form? I would need an adminstration control panel where I completely control my hosting and domain clients and manage billing all should be highly automated. Or if the reseller would manage all biling and customer relations, but still branded to my company, that would be even better. Is there any existing reseller service that will offer this and be highly reliable with excellent customer service? If not, I would be interested in partnering with a hosting company to offer domain and hosting services. Is this a possibility? Thanks for your help! Tom

Tom, I am particular that Idologic Inc. can offer you what you need and at a price you can afford. They offer cpanel and WHM, but are now testing on a windows platform, to see if it's an service they want to offer (deal with, more like it) While they may be realively small in comparison, don't let this steer you away. I've been with them for many months now (8 to be exact) and have had nothing short of miraculous service with them. Uptime and Support are both outstanding, regardless of which server you are lucky enough to get on. Good Luck in your search, guy.

The billing I would prefer is where there is a setup fee and then no montly fee, no "set" server space, bandwidth or max users. But instead virtually unlimited and I simply get a commission on each client I refer. Also it should be a complete turnkey solution, where either the reselling company handles all billing and client management or where they provide all the software for me to do so. So with that said, it might be more realistic to partner with an existing web hosting company. I am anxious to hear what you guys would recommend and if any hosting company is interested in hearing more about a parntership, let me know. Thanks, Tom

It sounds like you're looking for an affiliate program of sorts, not a reseller account
